A Facile and Novel Synthesis of Ag-Graphene-Based Nanocomposites

Nanospacers for graphene: A facile and scalable process for the synthesis of aqueous solutions of isolated silver‐decorated graphene sheets (see image) is presented. The silver–graphene nanocomposite film shows a 109‐fold increase in electrical conductivity as compared to the graphite oxide film....
